Rating: 4/5Good update of a Sega classic!

This review is from: Alien Syndrome Wii Game

Pros: If you ever played the original Alien Syndrome from the old Sega Master System, this game is a very good (and loooong overdue) sequel. This is OLD SCHOOL (8-bit) overhead POV gaming in 3d with some RPG elements. If you still love the old simple games, but want something a bit more up-to-date, this is definitely worth checking out.

Cons: The mini-games can give your character little bonuses, but take a lot of getting used to. Having to aim with the Wii remote, rather than just turning where you want to shoot is a fairly annoying, but it does occasionally have it's benefits.

Bought this along with 2 other games when I bought my Wii, and this is probably the one I play the least. That's not necessarily a fault of this game specifically, but my other games are more addictive.

Other Thoughts: The original Alien Syndrome was probably my favorite game on the Sega Master System, so I had to get this when I bought a Wii. I won't lie about it, this is basically an 8-bit style game with new graphics and some added features. It's a "Top-down" POV action game where you wander around and get barraged by aliens. Sega has added an inventory of weapons, tools, and armor as well as a simple RPG-style character growth system. If you still love the old 8-bit games, this is an excellent translation for a modern system. However, if you are not into the "Old school" gaming, this one is probably not for you.

Rating: 2/5Great idea bad game

Pros: Great concept of shooter RPG quite a few weapons, armor and item upgrades.

Cons: Where to start. Lack of differing enemies. Controls do not funtion well. Menu save option is right next to restart level option. Restarted twice instead of saving and just gave up.

Other Thoughts: Game could of been great unfortunatly was not well thought out. On top of all above issues the inventory management is horrible. You end of spending a few minutes every 10 or so getting rid of stuff you never really needed.
